Christmas Day is getting closer but there's sadness mixed with joy
Every day a few more questions from our little girl and boy
Not alone but there'll be lonely for their daddy won't be here
And just like the air at Christmas there'll be a chill upon the chill
Christmas without daddy will be such a lonesome day
We'll send a prayer and all our love to you so far away
Your son just wrote to Santa asked him to send you home
Yes Christmas without daddy we'll be blue and all alone
[ steel ]
Christmas without daddy I don't know what we're gonna do
On the present from your baby she wrote daddy I love you
Your son just wrote to Santa asked him to send you home
Yes Christmas without daddy we'll be blue and all alone
